Partition Magic

[windowgazer]

I’ve just installed Partition Magic 8 in my two machines.
Both are P4s and running XP.

The prog.is fine in one but the other reports error 600 (can’t create a batch file).
I’ve searched the web upside-down to no avail.

Many people seem to have this problem but I can’t find one who has the answer.

Thanks in advance

Batch Errors (600–633)
#600 Batch file could not be opened
#601 Error trying to write batch file
#602 Batch file not found
PartitionMagic lets you specify a series of changes you want to make to your partitions, and then executes all the changes when you click Apply. At this point, PartitionMagic writes out a command list file (called a "batch file") to disk in preparation for execution, and then reads the file upon execution (immediately if a lock can be secured on all impacted partitions, or in a special "reboot" mode after rebooting your computer if not all locks can be secured). In the Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Workstation versions of PartitionMagic, the batch file is located in your Windows\System directory. In the DOS versions, it is located in the directory from which PartitionMagic is running. The batch file name is Pq_sm40.pqb.

If the batch file cannot be created, cannot be written, or cannot be located when PartitionMagic attempts to execute the command file, the above error messages appear. If you are running PartitionMagic from rescue disks, ensure they are not write-protected. If you cannot determine the source of the problem, contact Norton technical support.
